When sensing the Earth’s ionosphere using dual-frequency pseudorange observations of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), the satellite and receiver differential code biases (DCBs) account for one of the main sources of error. For the Galileo system, limited knowledge is available about the determination and characteristic analysis of the satellite and receiver DCBs. To better understand the characteristics of satellite and receiver DCBs of Galileo, the IGGDCB (IGG, Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics, Wuhan, China) method is extended to estimate the satellite and receiver DCBs of Galileo, with the combined use of GPS and Galileo observations. The experimental data were collected from the Multi-GNSS Experiment network, covering the period of 2013–2015. The stability of both Galileo satellite and receiver DCBs over a time period of 36 months was thereby analyzed for the current state of the Galileo system. Good agreement of Galileo satellite DCBs is found between the IGGDCB-based DCB estimates and those from the German Aerospace Center (DLR), at the level of 0.22 ns. Moreover, high-level stability of the Galileo satellite DCB estimates is obtained over the selected time span (less than 0.25 ns in terms of standard deviation) by both IGGDCB and DLR algorithms. The Galileo receiver DCB estimates are also relatively stable for the case in which the receiver hardware device stays unchanged. It can also be concluded that the receiver DCB estimates are rather sensitive to the change of the firmware version and that the receiver antenna type has no great impact on receiver DCBs. 相似文献

Is the long-term variation of the estimated GPS differential code biases associated with ionospheric variability? 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The global positioning system (GPS) differential code biases (DCB) provided by the International GNSS Service (IGS) show solar-cycle-like variation during 2002–2013. This study is to examine whether this variation of the GPS DCBs is associated with ionospheric variability. The GPS observations from low earth orbit (LEO) satellites including CHAMP, GRACE and Jason-1 are used to address this issue. The GPS DCBs estimated from the LEO-based observations at different orbit altitudes show a similar tendency as the IGS DCBs. However, this solar-cycle-like dependency is eliminated when the DCBs of 13 continuously operating GPS satellites are constrained to zero-mean. Our results thus revealed that ionospheric variation is not responsible for the long-term variation of the GPS DCBs. Instead, it is attributed to the GPS satellite replacement with different satellite types and the zero-mean condition imposed on all satellite DCBs. 相似文献

Two-step method for the determination of the differential code biases of COMPASS satellites 总被引：8，自引：3，他引：5
The differential code bias (DCB) in satellites of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) should be precisely corrected when designing certain applications, such as ionospheric remote sensing, precise point positioning, and time transfer. In the case of COMPASS system, the data used for estimating DCB are currently only available from a very limited number of global monitoring stations. However, the current GPS/GLONASS satellite DCB estimation methods generally require a large amount of geographically well-distributed data for modeling the global ionospheric vertical total electron content (TEC) and are not particularly suitable for current COMPASS use. Moreover, some satellites with unstable DCB (i.e., relatively large scatter) may affect other satellite DCB estimates through the zero-mean reference that is currently imposed on all satellites. In order to overcome the inadequacy of data sources and to reduce the impact of unstable DCB, a new approach, designated IGGDCB, is developed for COMPASS satellite DCB determination. IGG stands for the Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics, which is located in Wuhan, China. In IGGDCB, the ionospheric vertical TEC of each individual station is independently modeled by a generalized triangular series function, and the satellite DCB reference is selected using an iterative DCB elimination process. By comparing GPS satellite DCB estimates calculated by the IGGDCB approach based on only a handful (e.g., seven) of tracking stations against that calculated by the currently existing methods based on hundreds of tracking stations, we are able to demonstrate that the accuracies of the IGGDCB-based DCB estimates perform at the level of about 0.13 and 0.10?ns during periods of high (2001) and low (2009) solar activity, respectively. The iterative method for DCB reference selection is verified by statistical tests that take into account the day-to-day scatter and the duration that the satellites have spent in orbit. The results show that the impact of satellites with unstable DCB can be considerably reduced using the IGGDCB method. It is also confirmed that IGGDCB is not only specifically valid for COMPASS but also for all other GNSS. 相似文献

差分码偏差(DCB)是电离层建模与导航定位授时的主要误差源,北斗多频多通道信号衍生出一系列新的DCB。本文首先分析了北斗三号卫星的码观测值组合及可估的DCB类型,建立了北斗三号卫星多频码偏差估计的数学模型,利用IGS实测数据首次估计得到了22种不同类型的北斗DCB。在此基础上,全面比较分析了各类DCB的内符合精度、外符合精度及月稳定度。结果表明,北斗三号卫星各类DCB的闭合差基本都在0.2 ns以内,具有较好的内符合精度;估计结果与中科院(CAS)、德国宇航中心(DLR)提供的DCB产品具有一致性,与CAS的6种DCB偏差基本在0.1 ns以内,与DLR的4种DCB偏差基本在0.2 ns以内;由于误差传递的影响,通过线性转换得到DCB值的精度和可靠性不及DCB直接估计量;北斗三号卫星各类DCB的月平均标准差为0.083 ns,具有较好的中长期稳定性;相较于北斗二号卫星,北斗三号卫星的DCB稳定性相对更优。 相似文献

GIM和不同约束条件相结合的BDS差分码偏差估计 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
现阶段BDS卫星和地面跟踪站数量较少,用BDS单系统获取的DCB精度有限,针对此问题,本文基于CODE GIM,采用两种不同的"零均值"基准约束方案(分别称为约束1和约束2),选取2015年(DOY002-090)MGEX的BDS数据,求解BDS的DCB,并对其进行精度评估。结果表明,两种约束方案下,卫星DCB差值整体趋势一致,DCBC2I-C7I、DCBC2I-C6I的系统性偏差分别约为-3.3ns和1.2ns,接收机DCB的系统性偏差与卫星DCB大小相同,符号相反。相对于约束1,施加约束2后,IGSO和MEO卫星DCB估值更加稳定(DCBC2I-C7ISTD最大改善21%,DCBC2I-C6ISTD最大改善13%),IGSO和MEO卫星的稳定性(分别在0.1ns和0.2ns左右)优于GEO卫星(0.150.32ns)。约束2的DCB估值效果不仅与CAS/DLR产品有较好的一致性(Bias:-0.40.2ns),而且顾及了BDS卫星DCB间的稳定性差异。两种约束方案下,BDS接收机DCB的STD无明显变化,说明约束的选择对BDS接收机DCB的稳定性无明显影响。BDS接收机DCB稳定性整体上优于1ns,中高纬度区域较好(STD 0.4ns左右),低纬度区域稍差(STD 0.81ns)。 相似文献

GPS Differential Code Biases (DCBs) computation is usually based on ground networks of permanent stations. The drawback of the classical methods is the need for the ionospheric delay so that any error in this quantity will map into the solution. Nowadays, many low-orbiting satellites are equipped with GPS receivers which are initially used for precise orbitography. Considering spacecrafts at an altitude above the ionosphere, the ionized contribution comes from the plasmasphere, which is less variable in time and space. Based on GPS data collected onboard JASON-2 spacecraft, we present a methodology which computes in the same adjustment the satellite and receiver DCBs in addition to the plasmaspheric vertical total electron content (VTEC) above the satellite, the average satellite bias being set to zero. Results show that GPS satellite DCB solutions are very close to those of the IGS analysis centers using ground measurements. However, the receiver DCB and VTEC are closely correlated, and their value remains sensitive to the choice of the plasmaspheric parametrization. 相似文献

A new algorithm for single receiver DCB estimation using GIM vertical TEC gridded values is proposed. It estimates receiver DCB and vertical residual ionospheric delays using the least squares approach with linear constraints. The performance of the proposed algorithm was assessed by comparing estimated receiver DCBs with those provided by the IGS. The same comparisons were done using two other algorithms for receiver DCB estimation. It is demonstrated that the proposed algorithm is capable of reproducing IGS DCB values at the level of 0.1?C0.3?ns, which is better than the level of agreement observed for the other two algorithms. For our tests, we considered data from more than 100 IGS stations, daily, such that all major regions of the world were covered. Besides, both ionospherically quiet and disturbed days were considered. It provides some evidence that the aforementioned level of agreement with IGS receiver DCB values does not significantly dependent on geographical region and the state of the ionosphere. The algorithm is easy to implement and can be considered for online use. 相似文献

Global Positioning System (GPS) total electron content (TEC) measurements, although highly precise, are often rendered inaccurate due to satellite and receiver differential code biases (DCBs). Calculated satellite DCB values are now available from a variety of sources, but receiver DCBs generally remain an undertaking of receiver operators and processing centers. A procedure for removing these receiver DCBs from GPS-derived ionospheric TEC at high latitudes, using Canadian Advanced Digital Ionosonde (CADI) measurements, is presented. Here, we will test the applicability of common numerical methods for estimating receiver DCBs in high-latitude regions and compare our CADI-calibrated GPS vertical TEC (vTEC) measurements to corresponding International GNSS Service IONEX-interpolated vTEC map data. We demonstrate that the bias values determined using the CADI method are largely independent of the topside model (exponential, Epstein, and α-Chapman) used. We further confirm our results via comparing bias-calibrated GPS vTEC with those derived from incoherent scatter radar (ISR) measurements. These CADI method results are found to be within 1.0 TEC units (TECU) of ISR measurements. The numerical methods tested demonstrate agreement varying from within 1.6 TECU to in excess of 6.0 TECU when compared to ISR measurements. 相似文献

差分码偏差(differential code bias,DCB)是指由全球导航卫星系统(global navigation satellite system, GNSS)信号接收和发射硬件导致的频率相关的偏差项,对电离层估计有显著的影响,在利用GNSS观测数据提取电离层总电子含量时需要被精确修正,研究利用低轨卫星的星载GNSS观测数据估计DCB尤为重要。使用Swarm星座3颗卫星GPS接收机2016年1月的双频观测值,设计了独立估计和联合估计两种估计方案,采用附加限制条件的间接平差方法对GPS卫星以及星载接收机的DCB进行估计。以中国科学院和德国宇航中心的DCB产品作为参考,分析了两种估计方案的精度和稳定性,相较于独立估计方案,联合估计方案得到的GPS卫星DCB的稳定性较独立估计方案提高了16.6%,且与参考DCB具有更好的一致性。 相似文献

The Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite differential code bias (DCB) should be precisely calibrated when obtaining ionospheric slant total electron content (TEC). So far, it is ground-based GPS observations that have been used to estimate GPS satellite DCB. With the increased Low Earth Orbit (LEO) missions in the near future, the real-time satellite DCB estimation is a crucial factor in real-time LEO GPS data applications. One alternative way is estimating GPS DCB based on the LEO observations themselves, instead of using ground observations. We propose an approach to estimate the satellite DCB based on Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC) and Challenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) GPS observations during the years 2002–2012. The results have been validated through comparisons with those issued by Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE). The evaluations indicate that: The approach can estimate satellite DCB in a reasonable way; the DCB estimated based on CHAMP observations is much better than those on COSMIC observations; the accuracy and precision of DCB show a possible dependency on the ionospheric ionization level. This method is significance for the real-time processing of LEO-based GNSS TEC data from the perspective of real-time applications. 相似文献

Vertical total electron content (VTEC) parameters estimated using global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data are of great interest for ionosphere sensing. Satellite differential code biases (SDCBs) account for one source of error which, if left uncorrected, can deteriorate performance of positioning, timing and other applications. The customary approach to estimate VTEC along with SDCBs from dual-frequency GNSS data, hereinafter referred to as DF approach, consists of two sequential steps. The first step seeks to retrieve ionospheric observables through the carrier-to-code leveling technique. This observable, related to the slant total electron content (STEC) along the satellite–receiver line-of-sight, is biased also by the SDCBs and the receiver differential code biases (RDCBs). By means of thin-layer ionospheric model, in the second step one is able to isolate the VTEC, the SDCBs and the RDCBs from the ionospheric observables. In this work, we present a single-frequency (SF) approach, enabling the joint estimation of VTEC and SDCBs using low-cost receivers; this approach is also based on two steps and it differs from the DF approach only in the first step, where we turn to the precise point positioning technique to retrieve from the single-frequency GNSS data the ionospheric observables, interpreted as the combination of the STEC, the SDCBs and the biased receiver clocks at the pivot epoch. Our numerical analyses clarify how SF approach performs when being applied to GPS L1 data collected by a single receiver under both calm and disturbed ionospheric conditions. The daily time series of zenith VTEC estimates has an accuracy ranging from a few tenths of a TEC unit (TECU) to approximately 2 TECU. For 73–96% of GPS satellites in view, the daily estimates of SDCBs do not deviate, in absolute value, more than 1 ns from their ground truth values published by the Centre for Orbit Determination in Europe. 相似文献

The Global Navigation Satellite System presents a plausible and cost-effective way of computing the total electron content (TEC). But TEC estimated value could be seriously affected by the differential code biases (DCB) of frequency-dependent satellites and receivers. Unlike GPS and other satellite systems, GLONASS adopts a frequency-division multiplexing access mode to distinguish different satellites. This strategy leads to different wavelengths and inter-frequency biases (IFBs) for both pseudo-range and carrier phase observations, whose impacts are rarely considered in ionospheric modeling. We obtained observations from four groups of co-stations to analyze the characteristics of the GLONASS receiver P1P2 pseudo-range IFB with a double-difference method. The results showed that the GLONASS P1P2 pseudo-range IFB remained stable for a period of time and could catch up to several meters, which cannot be absorbed by the receiver DCB during ionospheric modeling. Given the characteristics of the GLONASS P1P2 pseudo-range IFB, we proposed a two-step ionosphere modeling method with the priori IFB information. The experimental analysis showed that the new algorithm can effectively eliminate the adverse effects on ionospheric model and hardware delay parameters estimation in different space environments. During high solar activity period, compared to the traditional GPS + GLONASS modeling algorithm, the absolute average deviation of TEC decreased from 2.17 to 2.07 TECu (TEC unit); simultaneously, the average RMS of GPS satellite DCB decreased from 0.225 to 0.219 ns, and the average deviation of GLONASS satellite DCB decreased from 0.253 to 0.113 ns with a great improvement in over 55%. 相似文献

The ionospheric shell height has an impact on the estimated differential code bias (DCB) and total electron content (TEC) obtained by global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data, especially for a single site. However, the shell height is generally considered as a fixed value. Based on data from the international GNSS service (IGS), we propose the concept of optimal ionospheric shell height, which minimizes |ΔDCB| when compared to the DCB provided by Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE). Based on the data from five IGS stations at high, middle, and low latitudes during the time 2003–2013, we investigate the variation in the optimal ionospheric shell height and its relation with the solar activity. Results indicate that the relation between the mean of the optimal ionospheric shell height and the latitude is N-shaped. At the three stations at midlatitude, the mean value almost increases linearly with the latitude. The optimal ionospheric shell heights show 11-year and 1-year periods. The influences of the solar activity are related to the means of the optimal ionospheric shell height during the time 2003–2013. The slope of the linear fitting decreases with the mean value. Using the data from 2003 to 2013, we estimate the daily optimal ionospheric shell heights for 2014 by using the Fourier fitting method and then calculate the daily average of ΔDCB of the observed satellites by comparing to CODE results. The statistical results of the daily average in 2014 show that the optimal ionospheric shell height is much better than the fixed one. From the high-latitude station to the low-latitude station, the improvements in the mean value are about 75, 92, 96, 50, and 88% and the root-mean-squares are reduced by about 0.16, 2.09, 2.01, 1.01, and 0.02 TECu, respectively. 相似文献

The activities of the Ionosphere Working Group of the International GPS Service (IGS) 总被引：5，自引：2，他引：3
This article is based on a position paper presented at the IGS Network, Data and Analysis Center Workshop 2002 in Ottawa,
Canada, 8–11 April 2002, and introduces the IGS Ionosphere Working Group (Iono_WG). Detailed information about the IGS in
general can be found on the IGS Central Bureau Web page: http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov. The Iono_WG commenced working in June
1998. The working group's main activity currently is the routine production of ionosphere Total Electron Content (TEC) maps
with a 2-h time resolution and daily sets of GPS satellite and receiver hardware differential code bias (DCB) values. The
TEC maps and DCB sets are derived from GPS dual-frequency tracking data recorded with the global IGS tracking network.
In the medium- and long-term, the working group intends to refine algorithms for the mapping of ionospheric parameters from
GPS measurements and to realize near–real–time availability of IGS ionosphere products. The paper will give an overview of
the Iono_WG activities that include a summary of activities since its establishment, achievements and future plans.

Compensation for differential code bias (DCB) is necessary because it is the major source of errors in total electron content (TEC) measurements. The DCB estimation performance is degraded when only the regional GPS network is used. Because DCB estimation is highly correlated with ionospheric modeling, this degradation is particularly evident for measurements concentrated in an area of high TEC concentration. This study proposes a DCB estimation method that uses the long-term stability of the DCB to improve the estimation performance of the regional GPS network. We estimate satellite DCBs by assuming their constancy over seven months. This extended period increases the number of measurements used in DCB estimation and changes the local time distribution of collected measurements. As a result, the unbalanced distribution of specific ionospheric conditions disappears. Tests are performed using both global and regional networks, and the estimation performance is evaluated based on the position error and pseudorange residuals. First, the difference between the global and regional networks when using the conventional method is analyzed. Second, proposed methods are applied to regional networks. The proposed method can improve the DCB estimation performance, and the results are similar to those obtained using one-day global network data. 相似文献
